Kommentar von 1Beachcomber

So...catching different fish makes you an oceanographer? Here I was studying bathymetric maps of the ocean floor like a dummy.

Kommentar von eli2112

Just went live and I don't have any of those fishes for the achievement, even though I've fished a lot and some I'm sure I have already fished. Seems like it's NOT retro-active.

Kommentar von Talimar

It appears we have to wait until late march to complete this achievement. To quote El's Extreme Anglin':

"Summer Bass are seasonal, and can only be caught between the March (Spring) and September (Autumn/Fall) equinox (approximately 20 March to 22 September). Highest catch rate 12:00-18:00. Cannot be caught 00:00-06:00, except in Blasted Lands and Swamp of Sorrows."

Just make sure you get your Winter squid before that time.

Kommentar von Holjas

There is a very good guide for this on el's anglin'

Kommentar von Aiue

Looting fish (or clams) counts toward this achievement. The Jaggalmuschel criteria, for instance, can easily be met by just killing a few mobs in Zangarmarschen.

Kommentar von hefron

When fishing from school item different than fish it also counts toward the achivement. I've just fished Crystallized Water from Imperial Manta Ray School and it counts as Imperial Manta Ray.

Kommentar von clarimusic00

I have created a plan of attack for the achievement “The Oceanographer”. This plan includes all current fish in game (Pre-cata). This is of course not the only possible plan but what I've come with that I want to follow for the smoothest completion of Azeroth and Outland fish. If I'm missing any fish or have any incorrect data please let me know! (I will most likely be editing this as I complete)

Kommentar von Cleptor

The Northrend leg of this achievement can be completed within less than 20 catches in Borean Tundra. Not a lot of traveling required.

Pygmy Suckerfish is caught as bycatch along with other fish, so don’t try to get one on purpose. Chances are you’ll catch one of these by the time you’ve caught all the other fish in Northrend.

There are no pools of Darkwater Clams, so you start with trying to get one of these. By the time you get a Darkwater Clam you may have caught various other fish which you then won’t need to go after anymore.

After catching my Darkwater Clam near Valiance Keep I went east towards the icebergs east of Unu’pe and then north to the coast near Death's Stand. Along this route I encountered 4 different schools of fish: Borean Man O’ War, Deep Sea Monsterbelly, Imperial Manta Ray and Moonglow Cuttlefish.

By now I had all fish except Bonescale Snapper. Instead of flying off to search for a school of Bonescale Snappers I decided to be lazy and just kept on fishing in free water until I caught one after a few catches.

Glossy Mightfish

Raw Spotted-Yellow Tail

All off the dock right outside of Gadgetzan. While fishing I also happend to get killed by Deathwing :D

Kommentar von bowenbdf

I've actually stopped fishing for the Bloated Salmon after nearly 2000 catches in blasted lands and feralas, waiting on a GM response to confirm it can be caught as no one on here has got it yet.

Shame we have to wait until March for the Summer Bass.

Kommentar von Varaconn

It seems that currently, looting the fish in any way (from a corpse, for example) gives credit for this achievement. According to my Battle.net profile, I've completed 3 fish for this achievement, specifically Cataclysm fish, even though I've never fished in Cataclysm zones.

Kommentar von 21278

Reading the comments, it seems as though Summer Bass cannot be caught. If they cannot be caught, this whole achievement cannot be finished (until they drop later in the year?)

Oceanographer and Limnologist for Alliance (and maybe one that didn't get away if you're lucky)
You need: to be able to fly in both Northrend and Azeroth, HS preferably in Stormwind or a nice mage to join you. I suggest you to be at least level 82 for the portal to Deepholm.
Not sure if this is the most efficent route but it worked fine for me.

FYI: Look for schools of fish for a quicker catch (and a chance to catch the Sea Turtle). Open water work fine but might take a while.

Does this award a title? I don't see it listed in-game and I dont see mention here. I thought I read, in beta anyway, that there was a title reward.

Kommentar von Tarvos

Important note:
Apparently, the amount of fish required to earn this achievement was decreased to 31 on the patch 4.1 PTR - the following fish were removed from the list:

Aufgedunsener Riesensonnenbarsch
Aufgedunsener Lachs

If this change makes it to the live servers, Ozeanograph will be relatively easy to get; sucks for those people who spent a considerable amount of time to catch the Bloated Salmon though.
As always, this is subject to change as we still have a couple of weeks of PTR-testing ahead of us.

Kommentar von 780616

Not sure if this has been said or not; but you don't actually need to fish the fish. It counts even if you happen to loot them from mobs which I did in Zangarmarsh whilst grinding Sporeggar rep. Just thought I'd share it. :)

Kommentar von 776458

Just a bit of a hint: when I started working on this and The Limnologist achievements I did them a bit backwards by starting on the "easy" fish. If you start by focusing on the bloated fish -to an extent at least- you're very likely to fish up a lot of the other, generic fish on the list that area supplies. By fishing where the bloated fish are you save a bit of time by not running around fishing the generic fish as much, then going to fish for the bloated fish and end up catching the generic fish anyway. Saves on redundancy and you spend more time fishing the more rare fish.

Kommentar von SuzieQ

Due to the Bloated Salmon, I honestly believe this should be either a feat of strength, or have the Bloated Salmon removed

Kommentar von 502945

Just a quick question; will this achievement reset with the patch so I have to fish all the fish up again? Or will I get the achievement the first time I log in after the patch? (got all fish apart from Bloated Salmon)

Kommentar von Prebez

I see some posters suggesting that is is not necessary to gain these achievements?

It is. Trust me, it is. Highly necessary.

Kommentar von ayrenn

The five bloated fish have been removed from this achievement as of patch 4.1. All the fish required for this achievement are now common catches, with the exception of the seasonal Winter Squid and Summer Bass which are only available certain months throughout the year.

Kommentar von Zuril

Alliance characters can complete Lust auf Barsch while getting Dunkelküstenbarsch.

Kommentar von progshine

Here's my how to:

Basically fish them all on WotLK and when Blizz decide to put an achiev for it on Cata, do it again!

Kommentar von Ca1ypso

Great list, thank you!

Under Stonetalon though, it's Bristle Whisker Catfish (not Whisper). Only noticed when I copied and pasted to a word processor and was removing those fishies I had already caught, so as to consolidate the list to those I had remaining. There are a few that you either don't have listed, or are mistyped so they can't be found with the Find option.

Highland Guppy (L) -- Twilight Highlands
Sharptooth (L) -- Deepholm, Mount Hyjal, Twilight Highlands, Uldum, ZA/ZG
Blackbelly Mudfish (L) -- ZA/ZG, Uldum
Lavascale Catfish (L) -- Deepholm, Uldum
Mountain Trout (L) -- Mount Hyjal
Striped Lurker (L) -- ZA/ZG, Mount Hyjal, Twilight Highlands
Deepsea Sagefish (O) -- Twilight Highlands, Uldum, Tol Barad, Vashj'ir
Algaefin Rockfish (O) -- Twilight Highlands, Tol Barad, Vashj'ir
Fathom Eel (O) -- Tol Barad, Uldum, Vashj'ir
Murglesnout (O) -- Vashj'ir, Twilight Highlands, Tol Barad

Also, I would suggest fishing for Darkclaw Lobster, Large Mightfish, and Summer Bass/Winter Squid off the coast of Swamp of Sorrows or The Blasted Lands.

Kommentar von Sabatiel

just worked on this for two hours, forgetting that winter squid cant be caught for another like 3 months.

Kommentar von 08Jacob

If this achivement was not earned pre 27/4 - 2011, it is not worth obtaining. Sigh... All the time I have wasted..

Kommentar von 863853

As of 4.2 cataclysm updated:

Not sure which person is right about the exact date when you can catch Summer Bass and Winter Squid, but as of now, on Sep 14, 2011 at 9:06pm server time, I caught a summer bass and no winter squids on the coast of blasted lands at 65,84. IMHO, this is the best spot if you're hearthed to either Org/SW or Dal (there are ports to Org/SW in dal, all other ports in dal are gone) because you can just use the portal to blasted lands in Org (not sure about SW but I'm guessing they have that too). On a very important side note, AZSHARA IS NO LONGER A PLACE TO FISH FOR THESE. It is a lower level place now and if you try to fish there for summer bass/winter squid like I did, it will only end in frustration. Back to the summer bass/winter squid one person says it's sept, another oct, another nov for the winter squid. I saw one post of a person claiming that you cannot catch them at the same time. I'm not sure which one is true, but according to elsanglin.com, summer bass can only be caught between March (Spring) and September (Autumn/Fall) equinox (approximately 20 March to 22 September), and winter squid can only be caught between September (Autumn/Fall) and March (Spring) equinox (approximately 22 September to 20 March). Also, according to the same source, you CANNOT catch them at the same time. You either have summer bass or winter squid available, but not both at the same time. They are available separately for a 6 month period. This source is probably more reliable than a random person's post, but then again I haven't tested it out personally so I don't know for sure.

Assuming the worst case scenario and the most likely answer, Sep 22 is the last day for you to catch summer bass and then it's winter squid until March. That means 9 days from the time I have posted this, YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO CATCH SUMMER BASS. If you're working on the oceanographer achievement, YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MARCH NEXT YEAR TO GET IT. If all this is true and you are reading this, GET IT NOW BEFORE TIME EXPIRES. GO TO BLASTED LANDS AND FISH UP RAW SUMMER BASS NOW!

I hope this helps you and you read this in time to take advantage of this perfect time frame to get your achievement. I will continue to fish and update this as necessary in the event the dates and/or information are wrong. Winter squid is the last fish I need for my achievement! Wish me luck and good luck to all of you!

Also as a side note, if you're not on a US server, the summer bass/winter squid might be reversed for you, due to you being in a different part of the globe. In either case the fish may be switched, but the deadlines would be the same.

EDIT: I don't know why I have negative ratings on my other posts. I have been trying to be helpful. Maybe it's because I didn't keep my word and fish on the 22nd/23rd. Sorry about that guys. Anyways, I just fished exactly at 75.6, 57.9 in blased lands on Sep 24 at 3:52pm. I caught a winter squid first cast. I fished for 10 minutes later and this is what I caught:

7 Winter Squid (27%)
1 Stonescale Eel (4%)
13 Darkclaw Lobster (50%)
3 Big Mouth Clam (11%)
1 Large Raw Mightfish (4%)
1 Reinforced Locked Chest (4%)

This was only for 10 minutes and are rough statistics. I caught ZERO Raw Summer Bass. I didn't confirm this on the 22nd or 23rd but it looks like my information was in fact correct. I got the Oceanographer achievement, and I'm sorry to all who read my post too late. I tried to warn you. Guess you'll have to wait for another 6 months for the summer bass =( Good luck to all on the achievement!

Kommentar von Sopchoppy7

Winter Squid have returned! I caught one today off the coast of the Blasted Lands and got the achievement. Good luck all!

I caught a Winter Squid with my first cast at the end of the dock at Fuselight By The Sea in Badlands on 11/14/11 to complete the Oceanogropher achievement. I have a maxed out fishing lvl 85 Allied character. I did not try and fish the waters in the Swamp of Sorrows.

Why can't Skrilllex get The Oceanographer?
He keeps dropping the Bass.

Important note: Sorry to spoil the funz in getting an achievement. But the Winter Squid and the Raw Summer Bass are seasonal fish. Which are equivalent to eachother. Summer bass can only be caught from the end of March until the late September. September-> March = Winter Squid.
